The Earthquake Bird.

SUSANNA JONES

Publication: Picador, 2001, London

First edition. Signed. Author's first book. Fine in fine dust jacket. Lucy Fly, a translator working in Japan, is picked up on suspicion of murder. As she is questioned by the police, a past is revealed to the reader which is dangerously vague and compromising. Why did she sever all links with her family in England, leaving to live a life of anonymity in Japan? Why didn't she reveal that she was the last one to see the murdered girl alive? John Creasey Award Winner.
